Having a rough time!!! Bit of a vent.

[chris]

Thanks Helen, Betty and Dianna
I am just hanging in there and think if I told DH how I am feeling would freak him out. With 2 kids at home and feeling frustrated that I can't do much with them is getting to me. I am tired all the time from the Aldermet as I am on 1500mg a day (500, three times a day).

I am trying to be positive and I look at each day as it comes (and cross it off the list). I feel that I am letting this little one down as it is me that is the problem, Pip is healthy and growing well. My body is the big problem.

Thanks for the they really help.

Cheers
Chris

Hi
AJC - Thanks I don't want the others on PAMAL to know I am struggleing at the moment. I am trying to put on a brave face in front of them.

Dianna - Thanks Pip is doing well so I should be happy as that is all that counts.
Take care
Chris

Chris, I'm sorry you're struggling at the moment. You're doing everything you can and Pip is doing well. Resting will help and keep rubbing your tummy and talking to Pip.
Try out the Baby-Gaga development ticker for counting down the days and I think you'll be on the same level as me
Sending you lots of hugs and feel-good vibes

Sending lots of your way.

As the others have said.. the end is now in sight and you are doing a super job at growing that little bubba of yours. Come in here and vent as much as you like hun and get it all out. I remember when I was around your stage all I wanted was for bubs to hurry up and get out but honestly hun the best place for your precious little baby is tucked up in your belly.
Try and take it one day at a time. Come and join us in the Depression Forums if you like... everyone is very supportive in there and are always of great help!

Take care

Aaaw Chris hun I'm so sorry to hear you're feeling lousy - you have had SUCH a rough trot! I'm so glad you vented here, it's what we're for!

I think it's really easy to get caught up feeling we should be happy/grateful/peaceful/calm/beatific... whatEVER! I reckon the reality is that hard PG's are HARD! I've had moments of feeling exactly like you describe, then feeling like everyone else is coping and I should be doing better than I am. I also reckon that 3rd tri is the emotional tri (and to think I thought it was the first tri!!!)... it's like you've just been coping with one thing after another, after another - no wonder you're feeling like you're struggling! And I reckon you are coping just brilliantly by posting and letting those feelings out. As the other ladies said, just take one day at a time.

While it is fantastic that Pip is going so well,

so I should be happy as that is all that counts.

bah should schmood!!! Let yourself be unhappy or stressed if you need to be, you're working your guts out trying to get your little pip as far along as you can - I don't think you SHOULD be happy... but you SHOULD be proud of yourself!! I think you've just done amazingly to cope with all this. Give yourself a big pat on the back, come vent in here (I nearly did the same thing a week or so ago - and stupidly didn't!)... I'm sending you good vibes that things will settle & get a little easier for you.
